The recent film “Blue Jasmine” directed by Woody Allen is always regarded as the modern version of “A Streetcar Named Desire”, which was adapted by Tennessee Williams’s famous play with the same name. Both of the two films are trying to analyze the subordination position of women to men. With the rapid development through the time, the realistic circumstance remains the same yet. As it was mentioned, the last shot stopped at the scene of the shabby group-renting apartment, which symbolized the inescapable inner-desire and piteous self-limitation that can be found from the bunch of women in the living manifestly.
And another topic, when talking about the films with some similar plots, the lawsuit between the two famous directors — Sergio Leone and Akira Kurosawa had to be mentioned here. ” Here is the brief story: Sergio Leone’s bestseller “A Fistful of Dollars” was remade from the film “Yojimbo”, which was created by Akira Kurosawa. “He did a great job”, Akira said after seeing the Sergio’s work-piece, “but this is my film”, however he also added offendedly. So obviously, the lawsuit was inevitable… After that, Akira Kurosawa didn’t froget to show his gratitude to Sergio Leone’s “recreation”, because the money that he earned from the lawsuit had already exceeded the box-office earnings of his shooting of “Yojimbo” numerously.

伍迪·艾伦的《蓝色茉莉》常被认作为现代版的《欲望号街车》，后者改编自田纳西·威廉斯的著名剧作。两部影片都旨在探讨两性关系中女性之于男性的从属地位。迅速发展的时代，近乎相似的情节。正如在《欲》片的最后，镜头被定格在那栋破旧的群租公寓，象征着像那群女人一般永远逃脱不出的欲望与自身局限。
再要说起故事情节相类似的电影，就不得不提到赛尔乔·莱昂内与黑泽明的官司。《荒野大镖客》翻拍自《用心棒》，黑泽明看过以后也表示“拍的不错”，但表示“不过这是我的电影”；事后，黑泽明也不忘感谢赛尔乔·莱翁的“翻拍”，因为他从这部电影里得到的金钱远远超过了他自己拍摄《用心棒》赚得的票房。
